No hoof no horse. If you have not heard that expression before, it basically means to take care of your horse's feet. Here is the thing, the ideal time for hoof trimming is every six to eight weeks. The ideal in between time for shoes is eight to ten weeks. Fees to get shoes or trimming on horses can get expensive especially if you have several horses. Some people don't care, they just wait for the hoof to break off on it's own. The question is..What happens when the horse gets laminitis or some other hoof related disease? But also.. Do horses in the wild ever get farrier work done?

If you don't own a wild mustang in the ranges of the wild west, do yourself and your horse a favor. Trim or shoe on schedule, it will save you thousands on vet bills in the future by preventing illnesses on your horse's feet.
